Amy Schneider continues blazing a trail as the most decorated female and trans contestant the show has ever seen, proudly taking her rightful place among Ken Jennings and other trivia powerhouses in the “Jeopardy!” hall of fame.
“I did it for my first game, and then ... I just sort of realized, this is something that I would always have liked to see,” Schneider says.
Some of the most meaningful messages she’s received are from people whose relatives have come to understand and respect trans people and their pronouns by seeing and rooting for Schneider on TV every day. “It’s actually been great, the opportunity to get used to seeing myself on screen and see people responding so favorably to it,” Schneider says.Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings, who both had the ‘Jeopardy!’ helm before now-ousted Mike Richards was named host, will swap weeks through year’s end.
The feeling is mutual for Schneider, an avid Warriors fan who moved from Ohio to Oakland in 2009 and never wants to leave.
As much as she enjoys living there, Oakland has been the site of some painful experiences for Schneider as well. On the second day of the new year, Schneider wason Lenox Avenue — a “not fun” ordeal she wishes hadn’t happened. But ultimately, she says, “It’s nothing I can’t replace.” “It was really tough to know that I’d come so close to getting to meet somebody who was, in a way, a hero of mine and came up just short. But I guess things happen for a reason. In retrospect, while I’m certainly sorry not to have gotten the chance to meet Alex, I also am glad that ... it happened now instead of when it was supposed to, because I had not yet started dating my girlfriend, Genevieve, and just in general, I didn’t have sort of the support system I have.
